Description

The work of the Education and Outreach (E&O Focus Area) of the Association for Professional Observers (APO) is centered about initiating and managing projects intended to: support the dissemination of educational information related to the Fisheries Observer profession; increase and improve the utility of Fisheries Observer, fisheries management, and fisheries science resources available to the public; and to reach out among a wide range of stakeholders internationally, to foster a broadened vantage among all of the APO’s work. Since the foundation of the APO in 1995, the publication of the quarterly APO newsletter, the Mail Buoy, has been a priority mission for the APO and will continue to be so, now organized as a project of the E&O focus area. Increasing the educational value and usefulness of the APO website is also an important objective for this focus area.

The Mail Buoy is a publication of the Association for Professional Observers (www.apo-observers.org).
